With the first method, the demon's physical form is destroyed by physical means. A demonic summoned creature always has hit points, armour class, and a BAtCh rating. Many demonic forms have one or more missile or melee attack routines but are usually incapable of parrying (unless noted otherwise in the monster description.) If a summoned creature loses all of its hit points, it crumbles away to ash and dust. A creature dispelled in this way cannot be summoned for one day per level of the last attacker. The summoner of the creature is unaffected by a dispelling of this type.
